After 3 seconds standard alert pattern continues.
Safety Radar Alerts
In communities where transmitters are located, the
Safety Warning System alerts you with 60 voice mes-

is geiger counter-like.
Example:
Note: Not all areas have Safety Warning System trans-
mitters.
VG-2 Audio/Visual Alerts
Note: You must turn this feature on in option select
mode before it will detect the VG-2 Gun.
When a VG-2 signal is detected, the detector “hides” its
own radiated signal and becomes undetectable by the
VG-2.
Every 30 seconds, the detector checks for a VG-2 sig-
nal. If a VG-2 signal is still present, the unit continues to
hide and repeats the VG-2 alert. If no signal is detect-
ed, two beeps are provided, indicating an “all clear”
condition. During VG-2 Alert X, K, and Ka band signals
cannot be received.
Alert Priority
When two or more signals are received at the same
time, the alert priority is:
1. Laser 2. VG-2
3. Speed Radar 4. Safety Radar
Example:
If X band is alerting, then suddenly VG-2 is detected,
the VG-2 warning will override the X band alert.
